Well as thats the maximum fine he MIGHT have to pay, its all speculation.

At least it was a worthy speed for a big fine, you have to feel sorry for the guy on a harley who got 95k for doing 47mph in a 30.

It is a good system they have though!

Why? He's the boss of Nokia, so the financial impact of that £95k fine is probably commensurate to the impact the fine you or I would be hit with here in the UK!

My old man always says 'I would love to be in the position where i have to pay a million pounds in tax.'

I think based on what you earn is the fairest way, if you have to have the bloody cameras at all that is.
